Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² The words of a wise man’s mouth bring favor,
    but the speech of a fool consumes him;
¹³ the beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
    and the end of his talk is evil madness.
¹⁴ A fool multiplies words,
    though no man knows what is to be;
    who can tell him what will be after him?
